INCIDENTS OF THE FUNERAL
I'm the crush at the doors OF tie church many
persons entitled TO admitance were unable to
pecure IL. Even Senator EvaItS had difficulty in
getting In, being kept back by huge policeman.
When the Senator was recognized by gentleman
near him and his identity was made known the
policeman protested that he could find room for
no one more. Just then Detective Powers saw
the Senator, and making his way u him conducted
him to the rear entrance and secured HIM admis-
sion Even then 1t was with some difficulty that
an eligible seat was found for him. The repre-
scntatives Of the Amherst alumni who sought to
honor their dead college mate were 100 late TO
get into the church.
Mrs. Beechcr and her children went 10 the
church at 80 yesterday morning instead Of
going on Thursday evening ON account Of the
crowd. as had been intended. They srcnt sCmc
time taking tie last look and apprecating the
loving tributes of floral designs in honor Of the
dead pastor.
Some comment was caused by the failure Of
President Gle Gland or Governor ILL to attend
the funeral. IL is suggested that perhaps the
President feared that if he went ii would be
thought that he made an lnVidtOus distinction as
he did not attend Nice-lrcsident HendTiclsSs
funeral The Governors recent experience in
Brooklyn no doubt was the reason for his remain
ing in Albany In connection with tliis I'M
gracious act the part Of the Governor and
Acknowledgement Porter has been made known.

as the guard of honor it thought by Of
ihe old members Of the regiment that it would be
pleasant if those who were the field and stad
officers of the regiment when Mr.. Eeecher Was
elected chaplain in 1878 should take tour Of
duty as the guard Of honor on Thursday night.
Among them are eX-Colonel ID. i. Austen then
colonel, General Christensen then Lieutenant
Col nell. General II. G. King then Major. and
Major Alderman then Inspector of lille pIac-
fce. As the last named is still under arrest
IN connection with his court martial. which re-
suited practically in his acquittal, he is dehaTcd
from wearing his uniform so Colonel Austen tcle-
grapbed TO Governor Hill asking that the order
of arrest be so modified that ne could wear a
uniform and Join in the tribute t. tic chaplain.
The Governor did not reply, but Adjutant-Ge General
Porter sent this answer to Colonel Austen:
Your telegram the should have been addressed
TaOHner and II he consents IN Writing eIe is no osiion
here.
As the time necessary to get the written con-
sent and transmit il 10 Albany would not allow
the arrangement to guard the chapIalns body to
be earned out the matter was dropped. Colonel
Austen sent the following letter to the Adjutant-
General:
